Abstract

  A sensitive, simple, and accurate method for the determination and pharmacokinetic study of vanillic acid in rat plasma was developed using reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection after oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine preparation of the Di-Gu-Pi decoction. Plasma samples taken from rats were extracted with methanol. The constituent vanillic acid was separated on a C18 stationary phase and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (15:85, v/v) (adjusted to pH 3.0 using phosphoric acid), with a UV detector setting at 260 nm. The validated HPLC method developed was used to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of vanillic acid in rat plasma after administration of the Di-Gu-Pi decoction.<br>
